FALL RIVER — Bring on the hot sauce, wings and cheesecake and bowl drinks. The owners of Boneheads Wing Bar in West Warwick, Rhode Island, and Boneheads Unplugged in Fall River are opening a new establishment on Water Street.

In a post on Facebook, the group of owners of Boneheads say they plan to open this spring in the site that was once the Water Street Cafe.

Most recently, Tuscani Italian Restaurant and Boondocks nightclub occupied the space at 36 Water St. and 46 Water St. Jeanne Padilla, wife of Jim Padilla, the owner of the building, said Tuscani restaurant was closed about a month ago, and the Boondocks is now also officially closed. This Friday and Saturday and next Friday and Saturday, Jim Padilla will host the live jam sessions from 8 to 12:30 p.m. that started at Water Street Cafe.

The owners of Boneheads Wing Bar opened its second location, Boneheads Unplugged in Fall River on South Main Street about a year and half ago. The South Main Street location, a takeout only operation without any tables, proved to be a challenge.

“Not having any tables has turned off some people who were hoping for the full Boneheads Wing Bar (West Warwick) experience. Fall River has missed out on some of our wildly popular items, such as our double-layered nachos, app samplers, and desserts – namely our unique cheesecakes. Not to mention our specialty drinks, beer towers, bowl drinks, and more,” they said on the Boneheads Unplugged Facebook post.

According to the post, the timeline is still being determined, but they plan to keep the South Main Street location open and transition to the new place in the spring.
